I just got this email response from my brother today. You would think he PLAYED football but nope, just a spectator...
"Due to the start of football season, we are unable to cover Sat./ Sun. 9-11or 9-12 or Sat/Sun 9-l8 or 9-l9"
I use the couple of hours off to go buy groceries! I had to laugh or I would be crying. What stupid excuses have you gotten?
I have 3 older brothers that don't do a whip! Fork out money now & then but don't understand the daily drama.
Dad doesn't have much to say to them. Disappointed,
You guys having sibling refuse you really stinks.
I don't think I have ever regretted being solo. If things need to be done, I can do it.
I miss having support .. but if the support comes with whining & stupid excuses ... Dad & I will manage ourselves.
sorry state to be in
I have no family in regards to as brother or sister so I am solo.
What an insult!
I know what y'all mean about wondering if we are related.
It is up to the youngest daughter to provide everything!
What is with family? I am so disappointed with mine but mine have "busy Lives".
So do I ... caring for our father & all it entails.
A football game?
Glad you're here ... at least you might find some sanity!
"One mother can take care of ten children but ten children can't take care of one mother."
God thought so much of our parents that He actually made it one of His commandments to take care of them. I can see St. Peter shaking his head at my brother once he arrives at the Pearly Gates...
"Hmmmm....Seems you chose watching football over taking care of your elderly mother...Sorry...Woosh! NEXT!"
I had to practically extract that answer. My sister never does anything she doesn't want to do or thinks is unpleasant. She is very selfish. There are times I wonder how we can be related. But then I remember she and mom are like two peas in a pod. Mom is selfish and mean about it, sis is selfish but very quiet about it. They make me sick.
I'm sorry your sisters are ignoring the fact that you are caring for their mom. I wish I had an answer or solution for you but I don't. It's a real mystery to me how one sibling always gets the shaft.
Are your kids going to step up when it's your turn to require care?
Julie, I'm stunned at your brother's email. Talk about insensitive and selfish. Sure hope your mom doesn't get real sick during football season. He'll have a tough decision to make!
